Unfashionable now, the politically insightful, emotionally inteligent, utterly irreverent and always entertaining John Updike is one of the most gifted writers America has ever had.
And Updike’s Rabbit Redux absolutely nails the social and political turmoil of the 60s through the eyes of one of literature’s most complex antiheroes, the hilarious Harry “Rabbit” Angstrom. The second novel in his celebrated Rabbit series, Redux finds Rabbit, the one-time small-town golden boy, cast adrift, his suburban existence upended by the forces of revolution.
While Updike masterfully paints an uncomfortable portrait of a man—and a nation—struggling to find its place in a new era, this thought-provoking t-shirt is the bomb.
